RCA Victor KCS 137 portable tv
 

Picked up this neat toy today. Came with its' original roll cart.
I need some parts, and, schematic for it. See advertising forums.
Just so you'll know, it's in sams 559-2. Can somebody spare one??
Also, John Folsom says cheater cords for our old sets are for sale again. Anyone know where I can buy them? Thanks.

This is an aerly all channel tv with a tube in uhf tuner.
It has all antennas in good shape.

Please give me some time. I just picked it up last Saturday. I'll get pictures.

"Also, John Folsom says cheater cords for our old sets are for sale again. Anyone know where I can buy them? Thanks."

If John Folsom said that, please ask him to share his source with the group.

They are but, not cheap anymore. I'm going to have to buy some myself.

Bill, unfortunately, I don't have many series string tubes around right now. I did some investigating and I usually use ERSC Vacuum Tubes in Florida. They have many tubes for $1.00 NOS. Shipping has always be at cost, no profit there.

4AU6 $1.00
17BW3 $1.00
4BZ6 $1.00
3AF4 $1.00
10EM7 $3.00
8FQ7 $3.00
17GW6 $5.00 (Horizontal Output)
10JF8 no listing ?
3CW4 no listing ?
4GX6 no listing? (could it be 4GX7?)

Not a lot of money and if the other tubes with no listing are just typos, I would bet that they have them as well, for $1-5.
BTW, the tubes that didn't have a listing ... I looked in a tube database as well and they were not there.



Just a thought.

May I have a link to that site in Florida? Thanks.
Bill Cahill I'll look for errors on my part.

Interestingly enough I have most of the tubes your TV needs in my Tube Stash at my place, they were inside an old Tube caddy that someone gave me. I believe most of them are NOS and still test good on my Sencore Mighty Mite Emissions Tube Tester.

If you're interested I might be able to dig them out and send them to you.
